What Constantine reaffirmed the toleration of Christianity (in the Edict of Milan which he signed with his co-emperor Licinius) which had been decreed two earlier by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor Galerius) and completed the end of the great Persecution of Christians. The Edict of Milan also provided for the restitution of Christian property which had been confiscated during the persecution and compensation for those who returned it. Christians were free to worship their god.

Were Christians the first granted religious toleration by the Roman Emperor?

A:The Edict of tolerance issued by Emperor Galerius in 311 CE was certainly intended primarily for the benefit of Christianity, which had recently suffered under the 'Great Persecution'. However, it was also intended to benefit all religions, including Mithraism and Gnostic Christianity. Constantine reinterpreted this freedom such as to exclude these religions, as well as beginning to remove the ancient toleration of Judaism.

Who was the first Christian Roman Emperor?

AnswerThe general consensus is that Emperor Constantine I (306-337) was the first Christian emperor of Rome. Certainly, he made his support for Christianity clear. Some say that Emperor Philip (Philip the Arab, 244-249) was a Christian and was therefore the first Christian emperor. This is difficult to prove as, unlike Constantine, Philip gave no undue support to Christianity and made no attempt to persecute the pagan temples or discourage their use.Others argue that Constantine was not a true Christian, and only chose to make the Empire Christian to unite it under one faith.
